A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, April 20th

Good Morning, God,
The headlines are about a special day being this Sunday. Sunday has been designated as "Earth Day" on our calendars.
It's very hard not to remember our earth these days, Lord! These are the beautiful days. These are the days of new birth, new growth and new productivity. These are the days of beneficial rains and the welcome warmth of the sun. These are very hopeful days, Lord.
Creator God, we give you thanks for what you have made and what you sustain. We give you thanks for the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the sky. We thank you for the love that from our birth over and around us lies. Lord of all, to Thee we raise, this our hymn of grateful praise!
And, along with all the knowledge that we have and will have about the earth and its flora and fauna, may we also have the gift of a curator's wisdom, that we will always do much more good than harm with all you have made.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
